ASPEN, Colo.—A new federal study shows that Colorado’s Pitkin County is the third wealthiest in the country.
The study released this week by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis says Pitkin County’s per-capita personal income was more than $86,000 in 2006, the most recent year cited. Pitkin County is home to Aspen.
The study also shows that Crowley County in eastern Colorado is the poorest in the state with a per-capita income of almost $17,000. Denver County’s per-capita personal income was little more than $50,000 in 2006.
The only other counties in the country wealthier than Pitkin County are New York County and Teton County in Wyoming.
